The secrets of the inflow and outflow of gold and silver mentioned by Wei Zheng are none other than those mentioned by Dan Qing just now!
It's just that Wei Zheng and others have been in the court for a long time and are not among the people, so they didn't think of the idea for a while. But just now...
"But just now because of Miss Danqing's advice, I came up with a clear idea!"
"Datang is actually the same as Hangzhou and no different from the West Lake Industrial Zone!"
Wei Zheng looked extremely excited, "In Hangzhou, although the income of shipwrights and shipwrights is high, their daily expenses are becoming increasingly luxurious, and it is difficult to save a family. Just think about the Tang Dynasty. Compared with overseas lands, wouldn't it be the same? What about China?
In other places, people do not know the honors and disgrace of rituals, music, but they know how to feed, warm, and feed the hungry and cold. It seems easy to sell the rare goods made by me in the Tang Dynasty, but in fact it is difficult..."
No matter how easy the product plan seems to be, if it is not easy in fact, then sooner or later this difficulty will be reflected in the price, or the price may seem inconvenient but sales will have to rely on higher marketing costs, and the price will actually collapse.
This is what Wei Zheng said.
If prices collapse or go down, profits will go down.
If the profits go down...how can we be pursued by a group of businessmen? At this time, official reward and guidance methods become increasingly important.
Under such circumstances, there are still a large number of merchants who ignore the court's rewards. The reason is still clear. The consumption power of the people of China is far stronger than that of many foreign lands overseas.
Li Er, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling...
The originally relaxed expressions of the three people gradually solidified.
His expression instantly turned to stone!
At this moment of petrification, Li Er and others suddenly understood what Wei Zheng was doing just now. It turned out to be like this...
A sudden realization!
Li Er and others simply didn't expect that the big problem that had been bothering them for nearly a month would be solved so easily.
And it was because of a maid beside Li Sheng... This made Li Er feel dumbfounded.
The ministers around him are not as clear as the maids around Li Sheng...
Could it be that this kid...
Is this really the chosen one?
…
but……
Because of Dan Qing's conversation, Wei Zheng's thinking started to change, and now Li Er and others realized the problem.
Yes, the problem now is that the people of the Tang Dynasty are indeed richer and have stronger spending power than overseas.
Under such a background, how can gold and silver be retained? Thank God if we can do this without losing blood...
This problem was finally figured out, but Li Er was still upset.
What can we do? Now because Datang is richer, it is difficult to implement national policies...
You can't think of a way to make Datang poor. Isn't this nonsense?
Not only Li Er thought it was nonsense, but Wei Zheng, Fangxuanling, Du Ruhui, Duan Lunchai, Shao Li, and Li Xiaogong. As long as these emperor's ministers knew about this matter, they were all helpless - if you want to ask how to survive in troubled times, every one of these people
I can give you countless useful articles, but the problem now is exactly the opposite.
In troubled times, people without food and clothing are more likely to die, but the problem now is that the Tang Dynasty is peaceful and stable, and its economy is booming.
In such an environment, the consumption tendency is naturally far higher than overseas, and the direction of the flow of gold and silver can be imagined.
But then again, the Tang Dynasty is still powerful. After all, it is an ancient civilization. Even if we don’t mention the West Lake Industrial Zone, the handicraft industry in this place also has a long and glorious history and accumulation.
Even leaving aside those things produced by factories, other handmade products, such as iron pots and porcelain bottles, are also very popular overseas.
As for the goods coming out of the factory, there is no need to say much. Everyone who understands understands it - and those who don't understand it will naturally understand it when the goods are placed in front of them.
Such conditions, coupled with Li Er's special use of the treasury to provide attractive incentives, allowed Datang to have a lot of trade surplus to balance the strong consumption of marine goods, retain the quietly lost precious metal reserves, or
Talk about maintaining a balanced state.
But this is never a solution, this is never a long-term solution...
This thought was like the whisper of an ancient god, constantly echoing in the minds of Li Er, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, and a group of ministers.
Not a long-term solution!
However, one solution is not a long-term solution, but the contradiction is a big contradiction and a big rhythm. This must be solved both for individuals and for the leaders of a collective.
But what to do specifically, Li Er really had a problem in his mind, because the consumption power of the Tang Dynasty was greater than that of many foreign lands, so what could be done?
However, just when the atmosphere of the court discussions in the Li Zheng Hall and the Ganlu Hall was depressing, and there was nothing to be done, Xiao Yu, who was on duty at the Shangshu Province, suddenly received a memorial.
This memorial does not come from anyone else, but from Li Sheng!
When local memorials entered Chang'an, except for those that Li Er personally called out for him to read directly, all the others were read by various ministers from the Shangshu Province - otherwise Li Er would not be able to manage such a large territory in China...
Xiao Yu saw Li Sheng's memorial.
Speaking of which, Li Sheng is still Xiao Yu’s great benefactor!
If before, Li Sheng broke the leg of Xiao Yu's son Xiao Rui, directly wiping him out for the rest of his life, and Xiao Yu hated Li Sheng with all his heart, then...
Starting from the cotton spinning factory, Xiao Yu's ideas have completely changed.
What's wrong with having your legs broken? It's not a matter of time for you to have your legs broken sooner or later, you stupid idiot with no eyes. Forget about the useless thing.
It’s not like our Xiao family is incomparable to talents, for example, this child Sheng Yu... Didn’t the ancients say, who said women are inferior to men? This child is very promising...
Of course, Xiao Yu discovered Li Sheng's memorial not because his attitude towards Li Sheng had changed, but because Li Sheng rarely sent memorials to the court, and when he did, they usually contained useful information.
For daily work-related matters, either Li Jing is responsible for the report, which is about the northwest anyway, or Chai Shao is responsible for the report, which is nothing more than a matter related to Hangzhou by the Center-Left...
Li Sheng himself rarely wrote memorials.
Nowadays, Li Sheng has a faint tendency to surpass Wei Zheng and become the most famous minister of the Tang Dynasty. It can even be said that in many places among the people, the people already think so.
However, being estranged from the imperial court, and always acting as if he wants to leave the imperial court and go to some mountain to practice Taoism and retreat. This is indeed a bit of a problem... but it stops at being a bit of a problem. After all, these people are masters and cannot do hard labor.
Let's force the people to be recruited...
But this is not the point,
The important point is first, Xiao Yu is on duty in Shangshu Province.
Second, Li Sheng's memorial was sent to Shangshu Province.
Third, Xiao Yu, who was in Shangshu Province, saw the memorial. So...
